Zuby Ejiofor Named Big East's Most Improved Player After Breakout Season

The St. John's forward has transformed from a backup to a key player, leading his team to their first Big East regular-season title in 40 years.

Zuby Ejiofor, a junior forward for St. John's, was named the Big East's Most Improved Player and earned a spot on the All-Big East First Team.
Ejiofor has emerged as the nation's top offensive rebounder, averaging 14.1 points, 8.2 rebounds, and 4.3 offensive boards per game this season.
He played a pivotal role in St. John's winning their first outright Big East regular-season championship since 1985 and achieving a No. 6 national ranking.
Ejiofor transferred from Kansas after limited playing time as a freshman and has thrived under coach Rick Pitino's development system.
St. John's is set to compete in the Big East Tournament quarterfinals on Thursday, with additional accolades for the team and coach Rick Pitino expected this week.
